Next 36 founders learn to "see through a corporate lens" at Mastercard Challenge

Aug 04, 2017

On Tuesday, Mastercard Canada hosted its Next 36 Mastercard Challenge in partnership with Next Canada, inviting six up-and-coming Next 36 startups to pitch and answer questions to a room of Mastercard executives.

For the past three years, Mastercard has hosted the Challenge as a way to connect with startups on the ground by promising mentorship. As Mastercard issuing account management VP Chris Conant put it, it’s also a way for the organization to scope out possible opportunities that might be a fit for Mastercard.
